Font too small, changes to contacts list, notification/quick settings swipe issues

[DaddysWitlGirl1111]

I have the S23 ultra. The favorites list in contacts that stayed at the top of the list is gone. This new swipe down then left to get to the quick settings or flashlight is very inconvenient. I don't need a separate swipe for quick settings AND notifications. Notifications text is smaller which is not helpful for older eyes. The changing of all the app icons make them blend together too much. I like bold individual icons making the apps quickly identifiable. I'm sure there are more issues but this is too much issue as it is.

Im not a fan of the update also. Seems like everything is smaller .

These issues can be fixed, would you like me to help?

[DaddysWitlGirl1111]

Sure. I increased font size and such but as you can see the my input text is still extremely small.

You can also Screen-zoom in Display Settings

Even adjusting the font size it's still off then the sizes that were used pre update. It changed & will probably take a bit of time to customize to one's liking. It took me hours to give tune the settings.

As far as your Contacts issues.

One way, which may take a while, depending on how many recent contacts there are, is to view each of the contacts in the recently added section one at a time and they will be removed the next time you open contacts app.

All the "recent" contacts list are anything but. Some been in there for a long time. Still doesn't resolve the fact that all my preferred most used numbers were in a special section called favorites at the top of my contact list before the update and now the only choice is to search or scroll everytime. Any idea on a fix for that? And I thank you for your time and help!!

When you open contacts do you see a button to Add to Favorites?
